When do I need to use the GS1 systems?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

From 1 January 2026, you must use the relevant GS1 systems when introducing new products or making changes to existing products sold through REMA 1000, including both retail and foodservice.

What systems should I use and in what order?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

First you need to create your products in:

  • GS1Trade Sync
  • GS1Trade Packaging

When the products have been created, you need to order and send them to:

  • GS1Trade Exact
  • GS1Trade Image

The ordering and the shipment happens via My GS1.

Do I still need to fill out the forms from Rema 1000?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes. The GS1 Supplier Information (VI) form is used when creating new products.

This is a simplified version of the previous VI form and only contains information related to trading requirements.

The most up-to-date version of the form is always available on the REMA Distribution Supplier Portal.

Does it apply to all products?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes and no - the exception is GS1Trade Image, which at the moment is not a requirement for REMA 1000’s own branded products.

Do I need to create my products in GS1Trade Sync and GS1Trade Packaging?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes, preferably in this order: first GS1Trade Sync, followed by GS1Trade Packaging.

Please note: If you have already created your products in GS1Trade Packaging before setting them up in GS1Trade Sync, please contact GS1 Denmark for assistance.
